FOLIA LINGUISTICA
Scope & Guideline
Bridging Theory and Practice in Linguistic Scholarship
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Linguistic Structure and Syntax:
Explores the intricacies of grammatical constructions, syntactic variation, and the role of syntax in language processing and comprehension. - Cognitive Linguistics and Neuroscience:
Investigates the cognitive underpinnings of language use, including the relationship between linguistic structures and cognitive processes. - Language Contact and Change:
Examines the dynamics of language contact, including the evolution of languages, borrowing, and the impact of sociolinguistic factors on language change. - Bilingualism and Multilingualism:
Focuses on the implications of bilingualism and multilingualism for language structure, processing, and social interaction. - Pragmatics and Discourse Analysis:
Analyzes how context and social factors influence language use, including the study of speech acts, politeness strategies, and discourse markers. - Historical Linguistics:
Investigates the diachronic aspects of languages, exploring grammaticalization, language evolution, and the historical relationships between languages. - Typology and Cross-linguistic Studies:
Engages in comparative linguistics to identify patterns across languages, contributing to the understanding of universal linguistic features.
Trending and Emerging
- Interdisciplinary Approaches:
There is an increasing trend towards integrating insights from cognitive science, neuroscience, and psychology into linguistic research, enhancing our understanding of language processing. - Language and Identity:
Recent publications are increasingly addressing the intersections of language with identity, culture, and social dynamics, reflecting a broader interest in sociolinguistics. - Digital Linguistics and Social Media:
Research on language use in digital contexts, including social media communication and emoji usage, is gaining prominence as linguists explore new forms of language interaction. - Construction Grammar:
The rise of construction grammar as a framework for understanding linguistic phenomena is evident, with more studies examining how specific constructions convey meaning. - Evidentiality and Modality:
A growing focus on evidentiality and modality across languages highlights the importance of how speakers convey information and uncertainty in communication. - Language Evolution and Change:
Emerging themes in historical linguistics emphasize the mechanisms of language change and the cognitive implications of evolving linguistic structures.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Morphology:
Research focused solely on traditional morphological analysis is declining, as contemporary studies increasingly integrate morphology with syntax and semantics. - Prescriptive Grammar:
The emphasis on prescriptive norms and rules in language studies is waning, with a growing focus on descriptive and usage-based approaches. - Static Language Models:
There is a noticeable decrease in studies employing static models of language, as dynamic and interactional models gain traction in understanding linguistic phenomena. - Single Language Studies:
Research concentrating on isolated language studies is becoming less frequent, as comparative and interdisciplinary approaches are favored. - Sociolinguistic Variability:
While still relevant, the focus on sociolinguistic variability without a connection to broader linguistic theories is diminishing in favor of more integrated analyses.
